| Is this typical Service? Four hours to check out an amp? Open heart surgery takes less time!!! Yes, they are meticulously taking your money! | |
| What will it take to have live music for everyone? Hey, haven't there been a few previous posts stating that many musicians own really crappy home audio systems? Go figure?!! | |
| Overpriced Tube Amps Ralph, you are right, and so is Pbb! You are correct in the inflationary aspect of various products (excluding cyclical booms & busts...and one should be VERY careful if planning to buy real estate now!) Pbb is right concerning the whores who ... | |
| Overpriced Tube Amps I'll take as many NOS Mullard or Amperex EL-34's as I can for $100- each! How about some Gold Lion KT-88's, while we're at it :-) | |
| Tube Life Question: 12AX7 Drivers Trelja, 10,000 hours for NOS tubes. I have heard that family of Chinese 12AX7's, 12AU7's, and 12AT7's have a considerably shorter lifespan. The good news is that they are cheap, and have low noise, which makes them a good candidate in the phono se... | |

| The "A" List Jagger and the Stones already look like "Dead Men Walking"! And why can't the powers that be hire an AMERICAN performer for a uniquely AMERICAN institution! Please don't take this as jingoistic, as I feel that every country should have their own a... | |
| I'm hearing things Rcprince, you can also get "back print" or "print through" on a CD, if the master tape has the problem that you mentioned. Pros always store tapes "tails out"...they don't rewind the tape, which spools the tape tighter. This can lead to "print thr... | |
| is it sacrilege? Bdgregory, have you tried calling a furniture re-finisher, or a woodworking outlet? Perhaps some type of oil will work. | |
| whats it worth? Bigjoe, I disagree with you! It's about helping people. Yeah, maybe the guy just was using members here to get information for a quick sale. And just maybe, however a remote the chance, he might catch the audio bug. Helping never hurts! You know t... | |
| whats it worth? Sorry to tell you, not very much. Garage sale or eBay items only. | |
